Princess Diana's bombshell Panorama interview is set to feature in a new Channel 4 documentary which will be 'uncomfortable viewing for the royal family', according to a TV insider.
In the explosive interview, which was watched by 21 million people when it aired in 1995 , the late Princess talked candidly about her and her husband’s extra-marital affairs, and questioned Prince Charles’s suitability to be King.
Now the interview will be re-broadcast this autumn, with a TV insider telling The Sun: 'The show will make for particularly uncomfortable viewing for the royals and couldn’t have come at a more difficult time for them.'
The royal family has weathered several controversies over the last year, with Prince Andrew facing scrutiny over his part in the Epstein scandal, and Prince Harry, 35, and Meghan Markle, 38, stepping back from royal duty and moving to Los Angeles.

The four-part programme will be screened this autumn and is set to delve into several problems that have beset the family.
The impact of the infamous interview will be explored in detail, with the insider adding it would look at 'years leading up to the interview' as well as 'the aftermath.'
The airing of the documentary will be timed to coincide with the 15th anniversary of the Panorama programme airing, which continues to be one of the most watched shows in BBC's history.
Charles and Diana separated in 1992 after an 11-year marriage and the warring Waleses set up separate households, which often briefed journalists against each other.
